Method of minimizing average deviation of job completion times by executing data retrieval jobs in order of decreasing retrieval times

摘要

A solution for retrieving data from a plurality of different sources, wherein the data are retrieved from the different sources by means of respective data retrieval jobs having respective execution times. A data retrieval jobs execution list is built by ordering the data retrieval jobs to be executed in order of decreasing execution times. Next, the data retrieval jobs are executed according to the data retrieval jobs execution list.
